Beloit senior Brogan Monty is one of the best wrestlers in the state. Competing at 144 pounds, Monty enters his final high school season as one of Kansas’ most decorated and respected competitors, and his goals remain as ambitious as ever. Monty’s strengths begin with the mentality that has shaped him since he first
stepped onto the mat at four years old.
“My biggest strengths in wrestling are my mindset and my positioning,” Monty said. “I have a very good mindset about being aggressive and relentless. I don’t get out of position much, and it often gets my competition to make mistakes for me to capitalize on.”
That mindset fuels everything he does, whether that is practice or wrestling matches; he is always locked in.
“I’m constantly being aggressive and wrestling with a purpose,” Monty said. Those expectations only rise in his senior season. Monty’s goals are clear and unapologetically bold.
“(I want) to win my fourth state title and get 150 career wins,” Monty said. Already a three-time state champion, three year team captain, 2025 regional wrestler of the year, and owner of an incredible 124-5 career record with 74 pins, Monty is chasing history — and doing so with a sense of gratitude and maturity beyond his years.
“It’s an amazing feeling to be known as one of the better wrestlers in the state because it shows all the hard work is paying off,” he said. “It definitely adds a lot of pressure, but having pressure is a privilege.
